And the response would be quite in the affirmative! Colours look perfect along with all the sharp edge petals. Quite interesting really! Of course we all know content results are 99.9% due to the photog shooting and holding the camera. :-) GOOD on you Lad! Another good one! :-) cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: November-11-16 10:29 AM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Friday Flowers by Jupiter For some reason, it occurred to me this morning that the old Jupiter 8, 50/2, low serial number, made for Kiev, lens that I have had for years, which wouldn't focus well on my Barnacks, might work just fine on the Fuji X-E1. So I mounted it on double adapters and took it out for a spin. The aperture setting turns freely, so I secured it with a rubber band. Shooting a brick wall showed proper focus, and no distortion, but I wanted a real subject. I had seen this spot of color from a distance, so I checked out my neighbor's cool weather blooms. To me, the Zeiss heritage shines through. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Cool+Weather+Colors.TIFF.html Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
